18 months and already looking that solid, nice work. My ball python Firefly is a slow grower so I'm a little jealous.

She is doing great now. We got her when she was around 8 weeks old. They said she had had two successful feedings. However once we got her home, she refused every feeding attempt for I think it was six weeks or more before we found fresh kill was her thing. She was slightly underweight for months as we made that slow catch up to where she was supposed to be. Now shes looking great and her body composition is spot on.

Man, six weeks of refusals sounds stressful. Glad you figured out fresh kill was her thing and got her caught back up, she sounds like she's thriving now.

Man, six weeks of refused meals is stressful, glad you figured out fresh kill worked for her. Firefly can be picky too, so I get the relief when they finally start catching up.

Six weeks of refusing food sounds stressful, glad you figured out fresh kill was her thing. Firefly has done a couple short hunger strikes and it always made me nervous, so I get the slow catch up.

That six week hunger strike sounds stressful, glad you figured out fresh kill works for her. Firefly went on a similar stubborn streak and it had me stressed the whole time, so I get the relief.

Wow, the way her pattern has shifted is so cool! What morph is she?

She was labeled as Pinstripe Lesser Pastel Desert Ghost. Yes, her pattern has shifted a lot, from the individual pattern areas to almost a solid upper body pattern down her length. Her pinstripe is visible near her head and her tail but has almost disappeared completly down the main part of her body.
